Comments in Microsoft ASP and VBScript start with an
apostrophe and end at the end of line OR until a closing
tag occurs. The syntax highlighting does not recognize
the second case.
For example, let's use the following ASP fragment in
an .asp file:
<% ' ASP code fragment %>
Starting with the apostrophe and ending at the end of
line, the syntax highlighter colorizes as a comment. But
it should NOT treat the ending tag, %>, as part of the
comment.
Thanks,

Logged In: NO JEdit 4.2 doesn't fix it. Putting this in your vbscript.xml comes close: <SPAN TYPE="COMMENT1" NO_LINE_BREAK="TRUE"> <BEGIN>'</BEGIN> <END>%></END> </SPAN> but not close enough. The ending tag in swallowed by the comment and doesn't get you out of VBScript mode. Apart from that (huge probelm) it works. Trying to find docs on the highlighter but failed. |

This bug is very old, if it still exists in current development version of jEdit (4.3pre18/pre19) please reopen it. Otherwise it will be closed out automatically by the SF tracker system. |
